TL;DR: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment paradoxically found that human well-being has increased despite large global declines in most ecosystem services as discussed by the authors, and the authors assess four explanations of these divergent trends: (1) We have measured wellbeing incorrectly; (2) wellbeing is dependent on food services, which are increasing, and not on other services that are declining.

TL;DR: It is speculated that interactions with humans may be linked to the observed patterns of infections, and hence that understanding the ecology of infectious diseases in nonhuman primates is of paramount importance for conservation and potentially for human‐health planning.

TL;DR: Inequality was a significant predictor of biodiversity loss and significantly improved the fit of the models, confirming that socioeconomic inequality is an important factor to consider when predicting rates of anthropogenic biodiversity loss.

TL;DR: The potential of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from the perspectives of various stakeholders is discussed in this article, where the benefits of this technology are shared among innovators, farmers, and consumers.
